    Sacrilege! Drum intro has to be there!
    Drum intro all the way. This great song has been a train wreck post 2003. Vocals as well. Kind of like the guitar intro for wma circa 2008...jeesh. Why not an extended drum solo to open if Matt is so good??

    The 2016 performances of WMA weren't too bad.

    I have a soft spot for the reworked In My Tree, and I think the version from Live at the Garden is the definitive version of the song in that incarnation. The organ solo is an odd choice, but I never minded it. I honestly believe they tried the original version in Fargo but couldn't remember and quite get it together which is how they ended up with that strange hybrid version.

    However, bringing back the original version in Vancouver 2009 just makes you realise how great the original is. It needs the drum intro to maintain that rustic, tribal vibe.  I FINALLY heard it live in Berlin last year, and I know it wouldn't have felt the same if it had been the alternate version.

    Alternate Garden, though. I can definitely get behind that. Listen to Lisbon night 2 from 2006. It's perfect, and the crowd singing the original chorus while Ed sings it in the lower register just adds to the whole thing.
    2006: London Astoria, Lisbon I & II, Paris, Verona, Milano
    2007: Wembley, Dusseldorf, Copenhagen, Nijmegen
    2009: Manchester
    2010: Belfast, Berlin
    2012: Manchester I & II
    2014: Leeds, Milton Keynes
    2018: Amsterdam I, Prague, Krakow, Berlin, Barcelona, London
    2022: Berlin, Budapest, Krakow, Amsterdam II

    I think the reworked version was between 2003-2007. When In My Tree returned after that it has been with drum intro.

    Correct, but it was never played in 2007.  Relatively speaking they played it quite a bit in 2009 and 2010.

    Weird of me saying 2007 then. Haha. Maybe because I count it as the "avocado tour" together with the 2006 tour
